1911 question

Meh , fudd you.
What kind of work? That’s preventable? To alter how the cases are ejected? That’s pretty wild.
Yep a little filing on the ejector can send the brass where you want it. I used to shoot a 38 super when I played the IPSC game in the 90s. Back then 9mm could not be in the major power factor class. I hear they have changed that now.

.45 acp
First came the Combat Commander, .45acp, stainless. Eventually joined by competition 9mm in stainless.
Let's see get one in .45acp and stick with old ass technology from 107 years ago (that even the inventor shortly after said nope .45acp is stupid and so is the 1911 so let's design a better gun and then came along the hi power, which sadly JMB didn't get to fully finish but he sure as shit didn't want it in .45acp)
Or jump ahead a few decades and enjoy technology adapted to not so long ago and get a 2011 aka a 1911 chambered in 9mm (if you want to be real froggy get one from Rock Island armory in 9mm that comes with the .22tcm slide/barrel as well)
Fudds will be fudds. (Oh I also eventually want to get a .45acp 1911. But it would be no use other than a range toy or safe queen)

WOW SUCH HOSTILTIES AGAINST THE .45
hahahha i love this post because it negates the fact that the military uses rifles, bombs, artillery and literally everything before handguns
The 1911 is a very simple pistol to maintain shoot and conceal. Let's count how many modern pistols are based on that design. The .45 acp is a round that will stop anyone. Plus i know i can always trust carrying cocked and locked because of the grip safety. Enough said.
Well maybe not enough. If you ever run out of ammo at least a nice steel frame against a skull will stop a person as well. Plastic guns are jsut taht plastic. Polymer is plastic.
Now the glock people are going to chime up about all the trails that the glocks went through in the Austrian army... bla bla bla the 1911 was used in almost every conflict in the 20th century and still is by some units. It served this country for almost 70 years. Not since has another handgun done that.

Handguns are almost never used in military combat. Hardly ever. So all these posts about winning wars and all the years used is just as silly as other whole .45 steal your soul thing.
.38 Special revolvers were used for many years by the police. That doesn't make it a superior caliber or platform.

The 9mm is older than the .45 acp. Get a 10mm or .357 sig. Forget all that old crap...

The Valkerie is newer than the .308. The military should change their crew served weapons to that. Or should they go to the tried and true 30.06?

Nah. That’s an unproven new cartridge. Stick to handguns will. .357 sig is far superior to the old shitty 9mm. In a restricted state even more so.

Ballistically with a 4 inch barrel, yes. With a 3 inch CCW, no. Not worth the recoil and flash.

That's a dumbass who dropped his gun in the fire and left it there.

^^^I’m still confused over which caliber to get. Maybe even more so now!! LOL
I definitely need to rent both calibers and see which one I like better.
This. Go try em if you can.
I'd rather hit once with a 380 say, then miss 6 times with a 44. Everyone is different. Hell, even everyone's hands are different. I didn't like 45 until I shot the P227 and the M&P in 45.
